The Montreal 375 celebrations are far from over, and the city’s people are devising even more ways to put us on the map. Most recently, 15 Montreal bartenders and bar owners have come up with an official cocktail for Montreal! The initiative was led by Kevin Demers, the owner of Coldroom, a speakeasy in Old Montreal.

The cocktail itself is delightfully boozy. For a city known for its nightlife, it’s no wonder the Montreal cocktail packs a punch! The cocktail is composed of equal parts Rutte Dry Gin, Canadian rye whiskey, Aperol Aperitivo, and Suze Saveur d’Autrefois. Garnish with a grapefruit zest twist and you’ve got yourself a Montreal cocktail!

The aperitif-style cocktail gives a nod to both our English and French backgrounds, and includes (of course) Canadian whiskey to seal the deal.
